Firstly I painted the engine and gearbox in Vallejo black. Very good paint, it has almost a self leveling quality.  

Then I used lifecolor engines metallic paint. And gave the gearbox a greasy wash with sepia ink.  

 

 

A thinned down sepia ink wash was ten applied to the rest of the V8 block. 

A light watered down acrylic wash of brown vallejo, was applied all over. And left to dry. Creating a slight layer of grime.  

 

Painted cylinder head covers black, and picked out the FORD badges.  

 

 

A light grey drybrush. 

Another light grey drybrush, and a slight watered down brown acrylic wash. FORD badges were picked out with a silver sharpie.
